Classic Sudanese Pan-Fried Mushroom Casserole

Assemble the ingredients: mushroom, bay leaf, cinnamon, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the mushroom and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Sudanese flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Sudanese accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
